Thank god for the extra bells and whistles that come standard on cell phones.
I programmed my phone to go off every day at 10pm reminding me to count the Omer. I'm not sure exactly why it felt so critical for me to count every day, but now I realize that it is actually a true countdown of my time here in Israel, as I will be leaving just shortly after shavuot.
Hayom yom shmonah, she'hem shavua echad v'yom echad l'omer.
Today is the 8th day of the Omer.
Woah, as alluded to before, I have lots left to do.
I'm hoping to:
study more Arabic,
garden more,
daven more,
study Jewish text more,
order more "hafuch gadol dal shumans",
run more,
wake up earlier for sunrise at least once a week (I had this going for a while),
schedule conversations with people with whom I always want to chat, but never find the time,
speak more Hebrew, forget more English,
give more gifts,
worry less about my future,
do, do, do.... (no, that is not supposed to be a song).
Oy!

Baruch hashem -- now that Passover is done and the matzo has been discarded, we can all "do do do" a bit easier.

...and visiting your friend in Jordan?
Hopefully said anonymous "friend in Jordan" is not a cab-driver "friend" of the type I met while there... "I'm your friend, yes? yes?" (while pawing my breasts and thighs). Good times as a woman traveling alone in Jordan!
