   It seems obvious that you would print "day" separately from the leading   
   day name chars, since that would save ~18 data bytes.   
      
   One complication is that the names are different lengths, and we cannot   
   pad them all to fit "Wednes$", so maybe use XLAT to convert day number   
   to starting offset via a 7-byte table?
