.//Time[@TOD='Day']//Task[@Status in 'COMPLETED', 'BLOCKED']

In XPath 2 or later, if your XPath processor/API supports it, you can use e.g. .//Time[@TOD='Day']//Task[@Status = ('COMPLETED', 'BLOCKED')]. In XPath 1.0 use or e.g. .//Time[@TOD='Day']//Task[@Status = 'COMPLETED' or @Status = 'BLOCKED'].
