Oh no! We are 19 days off!

Something is very wrong.
This week's parsha, we read about כְּדָרְ לָעֹמֶר.

Bereishit 14:1
וַיְהִי, בִּימֵי אַמְרָפֶל מֶלֶךְ-שִׁנְעָר, אַרְיוֹךְ, מֶלֶךְ אֶלָּסָר; כְּדָרְלָעֹמֶר מֶלֶךְ עֵילָם, וְתִדְעָל מֶלֶךְ גּוֹיִם.

Yet we started counting on April 17, 2003, and Shabbos is going to be November 8, 2003. That means it will be ה"ר לָעֹמֶר, that is, the 205th day of the omer, not the 224th!
