freak out is over. i even fed henry another 1/4 can. he's hiding under the sink now. i'll leave him there until his next feeding. doc got the blockage out of the tube by sheer force of will and warm water. i need to get another can and a quarter into henry today. at the very least. basically i will be feeding him constantly.

i'll finish the candles now that doc is awake and the noise of the heat gun won't bother him. then in a couple of hours i can take them out and see how they burn. if i got the wick right, i will likely make more. i'm trying to get rid of all of my scrap wax. if i got the wick size wrong, i have a bunch of smaller wick that i can use. someday i will return to making candles and selling them. this is the first step.
