How am I being inconsistent?
The Lord’s day is applicable to every day that the Lord owns. (He owns them all by nature of His creation of them, but still not every day is given to Him)
Romans 14:6
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
When something is of the Lord it proceeds from Him. To say every day is the day of the Lord is to diminish what the Bible says is the Day of the Lord. So, even though every day is from the Lord because “by Him all things consist,” we don’t say that this is the Fay of the Lord, we say/sing this is the day that the Lord hath made.
But to attribute a day to the Lord as the Lord’s Day is to regard the day to be His. Some people think that the right day is Saturday and some people think that it is Sunday.
They are not actually the same words. They are different words that add different meanings.

The Day of the Lord
The Lord’s Day

Parallel for people who have trouble seeing the difference:

The Day of the Lord
The Day __ ___ Lord‘s

They are not the same words.

I wanted to broaden your mind by letting you know that there are sound interpretations of 'the Lord's day' other than the one you hold.

A quick question: you think that john being in the Day of the Lord is the correct interpretation of Revelation 1:10? Would that make sense when this is recorded before he is actually given the vision of the Day of the Lord?

Not. He was 'in the Spirit', as seems to be the norm with some of His prophets:

Revelation Chapter 1

10​

I was in the Spirit on the Lord`s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet

Ezekiel Chapter 8

3​

And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

2nd Corinthians Chapter 12

2​

I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.

3​

And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth),

4​

how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
