what does "run downstairs on my mornings"mean?
Abra took one of the market bags weighing down her shoulders, set it on the washer. “You needed a few things.”
“I did?”
“You did.” She pulled out a bottle of laundry detergent, put it inside a white cabinet. “It looks like you’re hooked back up.”
“Yeah. We’ve got a new security code.” He dug in his pocket for the note, handed it to her. “You’ll need it, I guess.”
“Unless you want to run downstairs on my mornings.” She glanced at it, tucked it in her purse. “I ran into Vinnie,” she continued, moving past Eli and into the kitchen. “So I told him I’d pass along that Kirby Duncan appears to have checked out. He didn’t formally, as in telling Kathy at the B-and-B he’d be leaving early, but his things are gone. Vinnie said to call if you had any questions.”

Since the building has a new security code to open the front door, and since Abra's friend doesn't live on the ground floor, if Abra didn't have the new code to open the door, her friend would have to come downstairs to open the door for her from the inside.
So, "run downstairs" in this case means to come downstairs. "Run" is used informally, and doesn't mean to move very quickly in this case.
"On my mornings" just means on the mornings that Abra is coming to the building.

It most likely means "ruin my mood in the morning"
I don't see any literal meaning of this phrase.
