Does "I had three hours down" mean "I had three hours left"?

Context:
"I love that balance," says Adams of her dueling identities. "I had a talk-show blitz yesterday. I had three hours down, so I raced home, changed out of my nice clothes and we walked to Central Park and did the merry-go-round because I promised her we'd do it before we went back. And she remembers. And then we walked back."

I read "down" as referring to "down time," or free time when she is not scheduled to be "performing."
