 I have something going on at home today, so I need to take a personal day.

你到底該怎麼開口問朋友「是不是便秘了」才不奇怪？很簡單，如果是你的死黨，就用帶點玩笑的語氣說：Dude, you’ve been in there forever. You backed up or something? 這裡的 backed up 是個超好用的俚語，比 constipated 更口語、更不那麼像在做醫療診斷 ...

 I have a cold, my nose keeps running, my throat hurts, I'd like to take a day off

If you're sick, see a doctor. Don't self-medicate. 

didn't you take today off? What are you doing here? 

I have a doctor's appointment this morning. I'm planning to go at 10 o'clock.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well.

 Hello, this is John. I need to call in sick today.
