## Caption

We've all developed different routines during the pandemic. Brenda Stevens Baer from Baltimore outlines hers, which starts at 5:30AM. She writes, "Our thickly-furred, beautiful gray cat, Stella Blue, climbs on my pillow and settles next to my head with a rumbling purr that says, “Hey, my bowl is empty. Get up now!!” I pretend I’m asleep." Read more of Brenda's quarantine routine: https://www.mdhs.org/underbelly/2020/05/27/letters-from-the-homefront-beauty-in-the-time-of-covid-19/
