I took a brief look with Alan's SatAna/SatEvo, and it appears the decay could be around noon Monday. Still visible from S.USA, but the last three orbits might be visible over Brazil, going NE. If it survives longer, it may pass in darkness over Koh Samui to s.tip of Vietnam, (far N of Singapore), then Cape Arnhem-Halifax Bay, next orbit S of Brisbane. Seems as if you may sleep longer, Greg.
