Lesson 176--Mental Health Day


 
 
Sometimes we need a day to catch up on stuff we haven't done yet.  Sometimes we need a day to rest and relax.  Sometimes we need a day to do something fun.  Oddly enough, in English, we have a good expression for that.


Taking a mental health day.


examples

C: You look terrible.
D: I don't feel sick.  I'm just bored.
C: Why don't you take a mental health day.

Joseph felt a little depressed.  He decided to take a mental health day.  He stayed home, read a good book and cooked a good meal.  He felt it was like a mini vacation.
