h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

my friend is in the hospital and her husband died yesterday. they had a house fire and he saved her, but then didn't make it himself. i am so sad. i'm a wreck. they told me when i walked into work yesterday and then i had to stay all eight hours. i was so tired when i left. i'm still extremely tired today even though i slept so many hours. i really don't want to go to work. i'm emotionally exhausted and want to sleep, think and regroup. but i can't. she's not immediate family. i'm trying to wake up this morning. i wanted to go see if i could visit or at least bring flowers or something. i can hardly keep my eyes open. i have to be to work in 2.5 hours and if i don't move now, then i won't have time to stop because she is on the other side of the city. i also feel distant. i want everyone to leave me alone. almost everyone. suddenly everything seems like it is too much for me to handle. i don't want to see anyone for a few days and they keep asking me if i'm going to be allright. YES!!! I'll be fine. I'm okay alone. I just want to think, sleep, and get my thoughts back together. So stop asking me, especially if you've already asked me once.
