I can do a Smackdown when tired. I can do a Smackdown when sick. I can do a Smackdown while nauseous. What I can NOT do is a Smackdown while exhausted, sick AND nauseous.
The guilt that dogs me because this Smackdown was to be a birthday treat for a good friend can only drive me so far. I must throw my hands up, or risk hurting myself and/or others.
Thursday Night Smackdown 
we love you anyway-get better soon. ((((hugs)))))
Take care of yourself. We’ll be here when you’re ready to come back.
Feel better! It’s going around.
Take it easy and get better. We will persevere in your absence, long as it isn’t too long.
As said friend, I forgive you and love you all the more for the sweat and snot that surely went into the attempted dessert (well, not literally into the dessert). Plus, I can look forward to the rematch – what’s not to make a happy birthday?!
