My issue was that reserve coverage was nearly non existent in that footprint so I could PD or swap with pot and APD was my only option. Can I green slip on an APD day?
This is a bummer and yet another lesson from HKU.
You might be able to call scheduling and have them adjust your APD to only the first day of the trip.
In the future, you only need to us an APD over any day that touches the trip to drop the entire trip.

"A pilot will not be awarded a white slip, GS, GSWC, IA, IAWC, yellow slip, or swap for a rotation that is scheduled to operate on a day on which IVD or APD appears on his schedule."
