Done

It took three weeks to organise the first proper meeting for my business. ⠀
⠀
Three weeks of back-and-forth and scheduling snafus and cancellations. Finally, I decided the only way to get it done was to bring 18-month-old Murray along with me.⠀
⠀
Murray was uncharacteristically clingy as we arrived at the agency’s newly renovated offices. He stuck to my front like a koala, hands clawed into my sides and face buried into my chest.
⠀
We’d laid out the designs and the pitch had just begun when he looked up at me with glassy eyes, turned his head around and projectile vomited across the table.⠀
⠀
But the parenting Gods had blessed his aim and the stream of bile and chunks of lunch narrowly missed the beautiful, glossy pages. So, what else was there to do but carry on? We wiped him up as he slipped into sleep in my arms and we continued to get business done.
