retired

( Sep. 25th, 2021 03:06 pm)
As of yesterday, I am declaring myself retired, rather than semi-retired and doing a bit of freelance work while not seeking out new clients.

That remaining bit of freelance work stopped being valuable, mentally, and had started being more of a burden.

I sent my one on-going freelance client email telling him I'm retiring. I'm giving him lots of notice, because why not? I'm not planning any major changes in my lifestyle that proofreading one more issue of queue would interfere with.

I had a nice long phone conversation with my mother this morning. She has a new hearing aid. She likes it better than the old one (and much better than the one they gave her in between), and I think was hearing me more clearly.

Having declared myself retired, I have unsubscribed from a couple of editorial email lists, and removed the "freelance editor" part of my twitter bio, which looked bare enough that it now says "freelance editor (retired), until I think of something I want to have there besides "antifa. she/her. hope is a virtue." (I don't use Twitter much.)

Tonight's supper felt very autumnal: roast sweet potato, a glass of milk, and an Elstar apple.
