But the machine is working, for the most part. I celebrated by taking a ten hour nap. Then upon waking, I noticed myself sleeping next to me.

After puzzling things through, it occurred to me that since I was still tired, I must have gone back in time to to sleep some more during a period I knew ahead of time was uneventful. To test this theory, I sent myself back 4 hours and went to sleep next to myself.

When I awoke this time, I was alone.

Next up: the escape plan.

While I can travel back in time, the problem facing me actually deals with space. It's about 5 p.m. as I write this, so I'm going to give myself until dinner time to come up with a plan.

I will keep you all, future investors, informed of my progress.
