Called in sick to work-asked if I had a PC at home…

So I called in sick to work today because…well I’m sick. I work in an office and my boss responded with are you setup to work from home? Which I am not. So I responded with no. He then asked if I had a PC and if not they would make arrangements for the future. To which I responded with “if arrangements could be made that it would be great”. I have a laptop at home but I don’t feel comfortable using it for work considering it’s my personal computer and feel like if they want me to work from home let alone work from home on a sick day then I should be supplied a work computer. Am I wrong for thinking this?

Overcoming workaholism

I didn't go to work on my day off. Two coworkers called out, and I was under no obligation to go in necessarily. Not my problem after all. And yet it took intense contemplation to decide that I shouldn't go to work, and do actually need my designated day off. I don't even have my car right now, it's in the shop for repairs after trying to drive to work in a blizzard. And I work at a grocery store, it's not like I'm some life-saving surgeon, the worst outcome of not going to work, even if it was one of my work days is that some old lady doesn't get her chicken parm meal. And yet here I am, already kinda feeling guilty for laying in bed. On my day off. Any tips for changing my mindset?

Should I hide my antiwork views from my employer (yes sadly I have one)

If it comes out that I'm antiwork I'm thinking that my employer might become vindictive. Should I just keep quiet?
