day off
Rest from labor
A day off is a day when you don't have to work or attend school—a break from regular obligations.
The phrase implies you normally would be working: I'm taking a day off tomorrow, It's my day off.
A day off may be scheduled (weekends, holidays) or requested for personal reasons.
