My body is betraying me

Apparently I am aging, and not in the good way like wine or cheese.  My back has decided to go on strike until further notice, leaving me with a wicked spasm and a muscle relaxer that relaxes my consciousness along with everything else.  I took half a dose yesterday morning at 7 and woke up at 3:30 in the afternoon completely unaware that the day had disappeared.  All of this bed rest has given me the opportunity to catch up on some reading for school and organize about a zillion photos. 
Here are a few black and white photos that were taken with the new camera before my back gave out. 

I am sure I am far more excited than I should be, but I think it is pretty great that this camera has a black and white photo setting!  I just adore the look of black and white photos!
