This is called a mental health day, "Hello, I won't be making it in to work today and I'll be using sick time. Hope your day goes better than mine."

I used a "sad day" earlier this year when a buddy of mine died and I just couldn't that day.

If you have a boss that isn't a terrible person, they understand everybody is human and has human emotions. Sounds like you've got that.

Oh yeah he's possibly my best boss yet. Once he drove me to the hospital for a work-related injury because the ambulance was taking too long. That's actually a huge personal legal risk he accepted to help me.
