Mensagem: 
"My day is drawing to an end"/coming to an end -  is possible, only that it is very formal (and many would think you are bored or tired by saying that).

The day was drawing to an end and I had to get out of this mess and find a safe port.

=========================================================
The end of my day (of work/workday) is nearing, is close...could also be used.  Would be more natural than "drawing to an end" that could sound a bit stilted.
