Goldie’s Guidance

Dear Goldie,

I have an issue that I am sure can extend to all of your readers. Every time I have to count the Omer, I lose track of the days or forget to say it. It’s just so hard to remember! How do I make sure that I can count all 49 days this year? My Tatti said that if I can successfully count all of them with a bracha, he’ll take me to TCBY and I can choose 3 toppings! This is very important to me, Goldie. Please help!

Yours, OmerCounting245

Dear OmerCounting245,

I can see why making this accomplishment is extremely important to you. I have successfully counted the Omer since birth and now I will impart to you, the next generation, exactly how to do this. You can make a candy jar with exactly 49 pieces of candy. Place it by your bed or in a spot you look at all the time and every night after you count, you can take and eat one piece. In order for you to remember to do this, you must feed your cat (siblings also count) at exactly the same time for the first week. You might forget, but they will not. They will be at your heels come 9 o’clock or so, begging for treats. Pro-tip, you can also do this for remembering to take medication.
