When I redesigned the blocks, I have one thing in mind. These code blocks will be in a function to be called from **3** different buttons:

- Today Button: which will make `thisDay variable` equal to `TODAY`.
- Yesterday Button: which will make `thisDay variable` equal to `TODAY` - 1.
- Tommow Button: which will make `thisDay variable` equal to `TODAY` + 1.

You will then simply run the function and retrieve the sub-list of the required day.

This is the function

These are the buttons to show selected timetable
