It's my first time dealing with law days required to wait and I'm not totally sure about the timeframe on legal days if you guys could help me out.

So today, Thursday May 15, I served the written pay or quit notice and Virginia law says I need to wait 5 days before proceeding to the next step, providing a summons for unlawful detainer using the sheriff or a disinterested third party. Does 5 days INCLUDE today, so I can file unlawful detainer on Tuesday, May 19, or is today day 0 and I need to wait until Wednesday, May 20, to file the unlawful detainer? And does the time the notice was provided matter as long as it's within normal business hours, 8am - 5pm? Thanks!
