Unfortunately, I can't tell you specifically if you are probably okay, but the good news is: you didn't have many hormone-free days (Tuesday & Thursday), and they were not back-to-back days, so this is potentially good that your hormone levels hopefully did not drop to the point where your body's naturally produced hormones kicked in to begin the process of ovulation...it's just not 100% guaranteed.
Even though you took a pill on the "wrong" day, as long as it's within the same week, it is fine (though, not ideal) as the hormones are most likely at the same dosage. It is more worrisome when your body goes without any hormones for 2 or more days in-a-row.
(Although, even perfect use of birth control pills may not protect against all pregnancies; there is less than 1% chance of pregnancy, but as the pill is not 100% effective--it's 99%---a pregnancy can still happen). So, knowing this, anytime you miss a pill, or 2, or 3, the chances increase for pregnancy. Good luck!
