📝 AITAH for barely talking to my friend when she came over?

A little background text, a few weeks ago my best friend, let’s call her Emma, asked my mom to do her makeup for the prom that was in a few weeks, which my mom agreed to. Flash forward a few weeks, we had to put our dog down on Wednesday- we’ve had our family dog for over thirteen years (we got him when he was around two or three years old). So on Wednesday we put our dog down, Thursday I spend most of it sleeping and I barely talk to anyone. Then Friday rolls around and Emma comes over.

During her time at my place I didn’t really say much, as during the last two days I’ve been extremely tired and everything feels weird/wrong now that one of our three dogs isn’t there anymore. A little information about me is that I rarely sleep during the day unless I’m really sick, but the last few days I’ve been so tired that that’s all I really did. I ended up falling asleep on the couch while Emma was getting her makeup done by my mom in the dining room, then she wakes me up before she leaves to say bye to me. We hugged briefly before she left and I went back to sleep.

A few hours later when I’m awake my mom said that I didn’t have much to say to Emma and that she thought it was rude of me (I’ve barely been talking to anyone the last two days, it wasn’t just with Emma). I told her we’d just put our dog down on Wednesday and I was extremely tired, so I don’t know what else she wanted me to say or do. Emma lives a five minute drive from my place, we live extremely close to each other and she has been over at my home many times since she is one of my closest friends and lives so close to me, so having her over wasn’t anything new and she was aware that we’d put our dog down Wednesday. After that little conversation with my mom I was feeling a little worse than I already was, so I just need to know- AITAH in this situation? I just need to know if I did something wrong or not.
