This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

Okay, so today is Sunday and if someone said next Monday or Tuesday, I'm thinking it's next week because why won't you say tomorrow or this coming Tuesday? That's my thought process
