With that convoluted title I'm making myself think about what we'd call the additional days on other planets or other different temporal circumstances.

Instead of ending them with -day you could end them with the planetary body name or circumstance name. Today might be Lajove on Jupiter!

The beginning of the end of Earth-week? I guess it's time to ride the cosmic waves to eternity then.

Ride those celestial surfboards through the 'verse!

Nice a Jupiter day or a Lajove is only 10 Earth hours. Mercury on the other hand is over 1000 Earth hours. https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/days/en/

One of my favorite moments in Downton Abbey; when he says, I can do it on the weekends; and the Countess (Maggie Smith) says “what’s a week end?”

It just killed me. Yeah she’d be so out of touch with workers that she’d have no context. lol

We're one week closer to the end of the earth. Yay!
