Reasonable excuse for missing a deadline?

For context I’m two months into a job and my boss is the ultimate nightmare. No one likes him and he is very rude and unprofessional. My boss was giving me very vague and non constructive criticism on my work and I’m finding it hard to improve. Today I missed a deadline to amend a presentation he was due to present. I’m not saying this wasn’t my fault but he basically threatened to sack me for no reason yesterday causing me to lose sleep and be completely unproductive today. I’m feeling very nervous tonight as I try to sleep, knowing that I have to face him tomorrow. I’ve also been working from home with covid for the past two weeks and haven’t had many chances to get support with it. Any reasonable suggestions on what to say tomorrow?
