Watch The Video Read Aloud Here
Hi Everybody! I’m Juliet Parrott-Merrell, cute cartoon artist and Zazzle.com designer and affiliate. These days, I spend most of my time sitting at our kitchen table taking it easy, drinking coffee, and going back and forth between creating art, writing and watching the world go by. When I’m not doing that I’m usually reading articles on Substack or watching YouTube or Patreon videos or TV. I had to really cut down on my use of facebook and other social media because it was leading me to darker mental places that I know longer care to go. My favorite shows to watch now days are The People’s Court, On Patrol Live and Blue Bloods. I also watch a lot of classic sit-coms, police, medical and detective shows and baseball. My husband Paul and I found a ball game on TV last summer (2022) and have been hooked on baseball ever since. The San Diego Padres are our home team, but I also have a tendency to root for the Seattle Mariners and any team that has to do with space or heaven or is named after a bird. In my previous days (before we moved to Riverside County) I spent a lot of time exploring and enjoying the outdoors. Fir trees, city parks and parklettes, older residential neighborhoods, farmer’s markets and street fairs were (and still are) my favorite. But now, since going out is so much more difficult for people in my circumstance here in Riverside, I spend most of my time inside. For those of you who might be interested, I was born with cerebral palsy, raised in Portland, Oregon, use a power wheelchair and only see partially out of my right eye. My left eye was removed a few years ago due to an eye stroke and glaucoma. I’m also married to Paul and love cats, rainbows, flowers, sunshine, coffee and funny and sarcastic memes. Above is a pic of me and Miss Rosie PuppyCat. We were each others earthly companions for about 15 years, until she crossed the rainbow bridge on June 24, 2020. She and I hope when you see this picture of her and me, you’ll smile like we still do when we think of each other. 🥰
