got out of bed off the laptop back to my real desktop computer

Good move.

transferred my PT3 database over

I looked into doing a database backup and gave up after 10 mins. Apparently built in backup will be added to PT3 soon.

Now on a real monitor I have lots more room

Could we have a few details, brand, size etc. I'm thinking of getting a new monitor to plug into my laptop, that should work don't ya think?

Of course I'm gonna keep in mind not to get cocky

I'm sure your A game doesn't include being overly cocky. If you're not playing your A game you stop playing, right?
