Present perfect

Today is Monday and I was too busy last week and am going to be till Wednesday.
''I haven't had a day off since last Tuesday and I won't have any till Wednesday.''
I'm using present perfect and simple future to express somthing that started in the past and will finish in the future.
Can I shorten above two sentences to one? or there is a better way to say it. [:^)]
Thanks

Assuming the part in quotes is what you mean by "above two sentences", I have to say that this is only one sentence. ) To make it two sentences, you would have: "I haven't had a day off since last Tuesday. " Either as one or as two sentences, the idea is completely understandable.
