Correct tense

I am writing a first person story in the past tense for the narrative. when writing about the day, do i write "today" or "that day".

For example.

I went to bed early, eager to see the end of today.

I went to bed early eager to see the end of the day.

If it's your story, you can do whatever you want, but I would write "the day" and would find it easier to understand if I read it as well.

If you had a particularly bad day, one that you would not like to have again, you could say "this day"
