good excuse for not coming in? I need help

I work part time. My manager scheduled me 6 days, 45 hours last week. I was supposed to work 5 days and have the weekend off this week so I could relax a bit and regroup because I have a major project coming up. Now he texts me asking if I can come in for a 10 hour shift on Saturday. Normally I don't mind working extra hours but this would be my 2nd week in a row working 6 days in a row not to mention 11th day in a row working I work with him alone tomorrow and dont want to face the guilt trips and questions so does anyone have a solid excuse? Was going to go with a doctors appointment but it's a Saturday so I can't go with that. Illness won't work either since I need to say no in advance Edit: guys, I know…

Edit: guys, I know that just saying “no” or “I'm busy” is enough. I'm concerned because tomorrow I will be working alone with him for 8 hours in a small space where we will be forced to talk. I admittedly don't have the guts to refuse to elaborate if he presses me on why I can't come in. So I'd rather have a solid excuse so he doesn't pry.
