You have to change each word such that the second letters will reveal a ten-letter word when read downwards.
Therefore, what now reads 'craihruane' will be a real word.

Hint
Try working backwards.
Answer
Saturday.
Reasoning
It's best to work backwards:
"Sunday's tomorrow"
is Monday.
"the day after Sunday's tomorrow"
is therefore Tuesday.
"five days before the day after Sunday's tomorrow"
is therefore Thursday.
"yesterday was five days before the day after Sunday's tomorrow"
yesterday was Thursday, making today Friday. Therefore tomorrow is Saturday.
