Profile

Lifeslurper resides in a big brown land called Auuustralia. Her early years remain a mystery cloaked in a veil of depression. Age 42 Lifeslurper meets the vague but gorgeous Wobbles. “What took him so long to arrive?” She asks. They make their way together in the world just fine, but are not fine to make a baby – not without some outside help. Enter ART and 2008 the year of 4 IVF cycles & one lousy big fat negative.

All boxed up

The last months have been strange.

Stranger than the average Lifeslurper months. Illness tried to do me in. Surgery was therefore delayed. A new Camp Wobbles was located. Current Camp Wobbles has begun the lengthy process of being dismantled, only to be re-assembled just over two and a half hours east of here.

IVF is still here, [...]
