I haven't been knitting. I started reading "The Almost Moon" by Alice Sebold. It was slightly morbid, in a fascinating kind of way. Once I got started, I couldn't quit. She also wrote The Lovely Bones, which is excellent - and I highly recommend.
I don't think everyone would like The Almost Moon. I think you need a bit of a dark side. It is a dark, haunting glimpse into mental illness (and pure madness, I think). It begins with "When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily", and that is how you are introduced to Helen, our main character. I enjoyed the way Helen loves her mother so deeply and hates her so passionately at the same time.
Other than reading, not much has been happening. I passed my Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
Oh, and in case I don't get around to blogging tomorrow.... Friday is my friend Beth's birthday. Happy birthday! Beth is also a nurse, a wonderful friend, and a shoulder I can always turn to. She understands my craziness, and embraces it. May we live long long lives of friendship and joy.

I really loved "The Lovely Bones", so I'll have to read this. I just got through reading "Marley, the World's Worst Dog" and ended up crying like a big baby. I should know better!
Congratulations on passing your PALS and Happy Birthday to Beth!
