Home Sick

I find it odd how when I am forced to stay home from illness, I value the time much more than on any other day.

While it is logical that I value the time so much, it makes much less sense that it is more important on these days. Every Saturday I spend the day wasting my time, and during the week I seem not to care. Perhaps it is knowing that this day is a rare occasion. After all, I try to avoid sick days because of the hassle they later produce.

When does it seem most logical to be so time-wary? Though the true answer may be always, such an answer is not realistic. Is it ever a good idea?
