Too scared to call in

For context I work in a skeleton crew of 3 people total at a wine tasting place, recently I've had a rather large life change (moving into a new place, some deaths in the family, planning a wedding, etc.) and because of it I've been getting sick a lot more often than usual, roughly about once or twice a month. I'm a good worker but I'm too scared to call in on any day from Friday-Sunday because they're out busiest days of the week and I have literally no one who can cover for me. I feel rather sick today but we have a meeting today at 11:30am and then a full day of piano bar until 10pm with no break whatsoever. I don't want to get anyone sick but I'm also too scared that I've taken too much time off recently. I also got a new job somewhere else…

I also got a new job somewhere else and I'm supposed to put in my two weeks notice today if I want to actually work at the place I got the new job at (which I don't. At all. It's food service again. I feel like honestly, if I have to work another food service job I'm gonna bash my head into a brick wall)
