//27 <- today day number
new Date().getDay() = new Date().getUTCDay() //<- 5 (friday)? what?

getDay and getUTCDay returns the number of days of the week. You need getDate () and etUTCDate ()

You are looking for .getDate():

new Date().getDate();

.getDay() returns the day from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).
