2)I can take a day off for the first time after 18 days. None sounds natural to my ear. These are possible scenarios: I [finally] can take a day off [ two and half weeks from now] / [in 18 days].

I want to say something like this "I can finally take a day off today after 18 consecutive days of working". How would you make it more natural?
