Yeah, even though you said 5 hours, I was thinking that things probably
wouldn't be back to normal until at least midnight my time (Pacific).  I
know how these things go.  You always go into it feeling bright and full
of promise.  Then things...just...start...to...take......longer.........
than............you................expected.  Been there, done that, have
the t-shirt, the button, the ceremonial mug, and the bags under my eyes.

Woohoo!  Take your time estimate and double it, then add 1 and round up.
That's how long it'll take ;)
