1st Term is over and I am tired

Well in the terms of breaking up the year into workable packages, Term 1 is over. And, what a term it has been. With a rough start to the year where, nothing had been organized and I was dumped in the deep end of a logistcal and sub account nighmare. It has finished in a slightly better position. Logistically things are slowing moving in th eright directiona nd processes are in place and "I haven't lost anything" YET!!.
But the last month has ben hectic. Preparation for a predeployment shake out, has had the heirachy spinning in an evertightening circle, whilst surrounded by junior leadership incompetance. The last 2 weeks has been physically and mentally fatiguing and as such I am really struggling to find motivation to get on the bike. I am tired from the time I wake up and it doesn't get better anytime through the day. My eyes are sore and my back and neck ache from poor sleep and from poor sleeping conditions. Did you know that the desert is very windy, very dusty, and gets very hot during the day and very cold(occassioning Frost) at night. Thats what I have been up to.
Now, that the term is over I am hoping that I can recharge the betteries and find some motivation for the bike. But with the knowledge that 2 weeks after the school holidays I am away again for 2 weeks and then very shortly(anyhwere from 1 -2 weeks later) off again for anywhere upto 6 weeks away all over Queensland, time on the bike right now seems to hold little importance other than saving some sanity and to get out of the house and away from work for brief periods.
So why the training tempo, well really I dont know but if I was to guess than I couldn't tell you anyway. But Mr K.RUDD will probably say something soon which will probably have severe implications to my bike time and family time in Australia. Having said that atleast I would come home (fingers crossed) and be able to fully upgraded my roadie, trackie and get a TT bike, with all the options I want. Ohh and I would own my house. But until Mr KRUDD says something, I will be busy making sure I ready for whatever.
