Don't feel guilty, it's the way chess works. Challenge to another game to make up for it, that's what I offer. Or, if you know you are lower than you should be, just work on playing up until you find your spot, there's no other way to manually increase your rating. Just keep playing.

I thought there might be a way to manually adjust your rating but I don't really know how that works.
Wait. How did you...sacrifice his queen?
Sacking the queen is akin to sacking the quarterback in American football... Pinned him so that the queen couldn't escape.
I would just like to issue a formal apology for my careless sacking of my opponents queen. That is no way to treat a lady.
