PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Fowler v. Gartner, 89 So. 3d 1047, 1048 (Fla. 3d DCA
2012) (“But the parties did not use business day with regard to the payment
date. This suggests different methods of calculating time for each event.
Moreover, day, which is implied in the payment provision, generally refers to
a natural or calendar day, which is a consecutive 24–hour day running from
midnight to midnight. In calculating days, therefore, the time extends to
midnight.”) (citation modified); Crown Gen. Stores, Inc. v. Ultra Meat Mkt.,
Inc., 843 So. 2d 287, 289 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003) (“[A] person has no right to
shut his eyes or ears to avoid information, and then say that he has no notice.
. . .”).
