“Climbing The Stairs”

I told my husband, Peter, when he first announced the idea, that I thought it was dumb.

I probably didn't say 'dumb,' because I try to be nicer than that. But I let him know that I thought his idea of getting exercise by climbing stairs in the stairwell was, well, kind of dumb.

'Find out if I can access the stairs in the stairwell!' he told me, after we had purchased this condo, sight unseen, during the pandemic. We didn't see it for al - most two years. When we were finally ready to move, the movers were late, and we had to change our airplane tickets. So I flew out to see our condo for the first time without Peter.
