I'd like to say yes, but unfortunately, calling in sick when you're your own boss is self-defeatist. You don't get paid if you don't work, and all the work is still waiting for you when you come back. Usually the only time I claim to be sick to clients is not when I want to do something fun instead, but when I'm so backed up with work, I need a little breathing room to get back on track.

I love working for myself, but I miss the idea of taking days off and still getting paid!
