Wow, 7th floor walk-up is nuts--I'm not sure id leave the house at all, but definitely would only want to come and go once a day. I can't imagine!
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Wasn't Our Trudy in a 5th floor walkup with her dog at one point?

Art Crawl!!!
I think that I would blame the stranger and neither the mother and daughter. Stranger had no reason to comment and really shouldn't have.
7th floor walk-up sounds like a bad idea.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It sound like the stranger was looking for a way to congratulate herself.
The orb is out and there is actual warmth coming from it! I'm still wearing my snow boots though because they allow me to tromp through the deep and plentiful puddles like a little kid.

Punishingly Intricate
My work team is about to move from the 1st to the 4th floor and I'm stoked about having the opportunity to get more flights of stairs walked in my day. Fitbit tracks stairs!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I don't know. I have empathy for all involved. When my mom was on her downhill slide I would have given anything to talk with someone in the same situation. But there is no good way to do that. If that was the stranger's goal, she approached it badly. But I understand the impulse.

Because books.
It's one of those days when my brain just won't work. I've written this copy seventeen different ways, and it still doesn't sound right.
Maybe chocolate will help.

Love!

I feel certain that it will. You'd better check empirically.

I dug my car out and went to the grocery store! This was at least two storms' accumulation, plus, for the first time I can remember, the base of the windshield wipers was completely frozen up, I had to chip it all loose. (Not the blades, the mechanism that makes 'em move.)

Researching now. I want to be thorough.
