I get to work on Monday (looking forward to Friday and another weekend off), blink a couple times, and it's Friday already. It works for me though. I sleep about 3-4 hours a night (for the last 22-23 years) so i feel like i've chronologically been around about 70 years (part of that is having lots of vivid memories going back to when i was 3 years old). Mentally though, i've always felt like i was about 27.
I'll turn 5o kater this year as well, and I know what you mean. My 40s were a blur. I was 36 just yesterday.
I wonder if the perception of time flying has anythig to do with seeing the finish line? By that, I mean the realization that you have more days behind you than you have in front of you. You start playing with the numbers. For example, I'll soon be closer to 75 than to 25, and that blows my mind, man.
