Bobbing along

As I was promised, the gas bubble in my eye has got smaller and smaller. It went from looking like a curved "horizon" across my vision to a perfectly round bubble which has reduced in size daily. Occasionally a "baby bubble" detaches from it and floats around before being reabsorbed. The bubble is very low down in my vision but a bit disconcerting as it bounces along on the periphery of my vision as I move. Yesterday it distracted me as I was walking and I tripped up some steps! The rest of my vision in my left eye remains misty (I'm hoping that this will improve) but my right eye compensates so I can see pretty well now. So I have contacted the doctor for a "return to work" line so that I can go back to work later this week, a week earlier than planned. I feel that this will be the right time although I'm sure that I will be exhausted after the first couple of days!

This morning I observed Tom and Ruby's bedroom wastepaper basket game for a while, trying to work out the rules. As far as I can tell, one kitten goes in which makes the other want to go in. Once you are in you get to chew the basket and roll it about to then envy of the other! Then the other jumps on the protruding kitten bottom to make the first one come out. A variant is to roll the basket from the outside to noise up the occupier. Roles are reversed and the game continues. I have to say that this is more fun than being at work!
