Scary Staircase

I am developing a new habit. I noticed that I have become more cautious as I walk down the stairs inside my house lately. I have a set of spiral staircases that lead to the upstairs bedrooms and I am becoming more careful as I descend them especially if I have something in my hand at the time. Also I have begun making small piles of things on the stairs. I do this so that I cut down on the amount of times that I have to use these suddenly daunting stairs.I guess it will only be a matter of time before I say goodbye to everything on the second floor. I guess I could always put in an elevator.
