+## Montreal
+
+It's September 2020 and I've just moved into an apartment in Montreal during the pandemic, what's the first thing my roommate and I do? Order in poutine and eat it on our dining table thats covered in... (you guessed it!) plants!

+* 1 snake plant
+* 1 curly spider plant
+* 1 air plant
+* 1 zebra succulent (Watson Moses)
+* 1 arrow plant
+* 1 bird of paradise
+* 1 rubber plant (ficus tineke)
+* 1 mother of thousands succulent
+* philodendron propagations
+* a couple others my roommate brought from home

+### surviving the winter
+For some reason, I did not take many photos<d-footnote>This is absurd to me right now because my camera roll is _full_ of plants usually.</d-footnote> but we acquired a ton of plants over the next couple months. For example, it took _8 minutes of video_ for me to document the plant watering for my friend to take care of them over Christmas/New Year's. I moved all of them to the center of the living room and my bedroom and grouped by levels/types of care. I took some screenshots of the videos and counted at least 50 plants!
