Extra 24 Hour in Orbit Checklist

FLATODAY Journal stated this morning:

"We copy that," Eileen Collins says from orbit, with little reaction
beyond saying she is heading into the checklist for a 24-hour extra
stay in orbit

Does anyone have a link to a copy of this particular checklist?

Wondering wether the crew now simply wants to come home, or actually enjoys
another day off up there shooting pictures, writing emails and playing with
liquids.

True. Do they keep the payload doors closed or reopen them?

They reopen them. The radiators need to be exposed to dissipate heat
generated by onboard systems.

It's not really a separate checklist, but a procedure ("deorbit prep
backout") within the deorbit prep checklist.
