The husband missed work due to a migraine and needed money, but his wife suggests talking to his boss about making up missed hours and offering to pay him for it. They discuss the benefits of using the missed time to relax and try new recipes together.

I can't believe I had to miss work today. I was really looking forward to it.
gpt
What happened? Why did you have to miss it?
human
I woke up with a terrible migraine and couldn't even get out of bed.
gpt
I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to help?
human
No, I just need to rest. But it's frustrating because I really needed the money.
gpt
I understand. Maybe you can talk to your boss and see if there's any way to make up the missed hours?
human
I already did, but it's not guaranteed. And even if I do make up the hours, it won't be for the same amount of pay.
gpt
That's tough. I'm sorry this is happening to you.
human
It's just frustrating because I was really looking forward to that shift. And now I feel like I'm letting down my coworkers and my boss.
gpt
I'm sure they understand that you couldn't help it. Your health needs to come first.
human
I know, but it still sucks.
gpt
Maybe you can use this time to relax and do something you enjoy, like cooking.
human
Yeah, actually I was thinking of trying out a new recipe today. Maybe this will be a good opportunity to perfect it.
gpt
See, there's a bright side to everything. And maybe when you go back to work, you'll be even more motivated to do your best.
human
I hope so. Thanks for understanding, and for always being there for me.

Of course, that's what partners are for. We're in this together.
