Off
Which, when you think about it, is really close to "oof!" Only one letter difference. And the sound I've been making a lot recently which led me to take the morning off. And the afternoon. I will drive to campus to be present for one class and then I will drive home again. And then I will drive back for the show. Because I'm not walking home alone at 10pm, mostly. Not alone and carrying all the gear I have to carry.
All that aside, the most important bit is that I won't have office hours today. It means a bunch of grading won't get done, even though it ought to, but I don't care. I need a break, and so I am taking one. We open tonight, and I want to be sure I'm ready to go, rested and energized. It's a high energy show, and I've been burning the candle at both ends lately.
In fact, yesterday I took an online quiz that determined I was 89% burned out. "Make a change in your situation as soon as possible," it said. I'm trying. Believe me, I'm trying. But I'm still waiting on everybody else to see what changes I get to make and what changes I get to adapt to. In the meantime, I can take the day (mostly) off. That should make quite a difference.

Good for you on enjoying your day off. Your life sounds much busier than mine, which is kind of impressive in a way that makes me worry for your sanity and health.
Break a leg on your show!
