I started at 1,095, and am now down to 99 days! I also am flying out tomorrow for a 4 day trip (TPAPN approved!) so that will make those 4 days go fast. Plus I'm working an extra shift when I get back from my trip, then I'll have my own regular 3 nights, which all means I'm at 99 today but the next week will fly by.
I tend to look at everything I do in terms of how it will make my time seem to go faster, or not. I Another thing I do to make the time go faster is set myself up with leisure time "goals". I have literally hundreds of books in my kindle account, and after my divorce I've really had to cut back on spending. So no more kindle book purchases. I've started going to the library, but I've also started rereading some of favorite kindle books that I already own, especially ones that come in a series. It gives me a feeling of "I need to get this book done by tomorrow, it's number 4 out of 7, then I should be able to finish the series by next week, if I get some down time during my night shifts (yeah, I get to read during my night shifts! Pretty nice, I know).
Same thing with movies and tv shows on Netflix. I set a goal (I want to watch all the seasons of The Sopranos), and then in between work, life, and whatever books I'm reading, I take a couple weeks to finish a Netflix series that I've heard good things about. It's entertaining, doesn't cost anything, and it seriously makes my days and weeks go by faster!
It sounds crazy, but setting these goals of wanting to read an entire series or watch a certain number seasons of some TV show really makes me feel like time is going so fast!! Like "wait! It can't already be Sunday, I was so sure I'd finish this series by now. I've got at least 12 more hours of reading and I wanted to try three new recipes before I go back to work!" Like I don't have enough time to do everything I want to do, so before I know it another 4 days has passed!
Now I am a bit stressed about my trip, eating out (watching out for wine vinegar and anything else in the food!) and explaining to the co workers that I'm with that no I don't drink, I'll go out to dinner with them but not out for drinks. So there's that, but overall I think these 4 days will just fly by. Of course I will have to test immediately after I return home, but I am expecting that so no big deal.
