This last election, people in California passed prop 7 by 60%. This prop was about putting an end to changing our clocks back and forth every season and Californians overwhelmingly agreed we didn’t like doing it. But while a lot of us thought we were done with this game, what we actually voted on was for lawmakers to vote on this issue. For this time change to go into effect, it still has to pass by a two-thirds majority in both houses, get signed off on by Gov. Newsom, THEN it has to get passed by congress. So who knows if or when we’ll ever see any changes. If we do, it probably won’t be before March 10th. So what does that mean? Spring forward and kiss that one hour of sleep good bye. Remember to set your clock forward on March 9th and get some extra coffee on the 10th!

We felt love from the

Lodi community

Thank you to everyone who

showed us love with cards and

sweets galore! 5 Tips to Help You Wake Up

Early on March 11th!

1. Layoff the caffeine the day before. Try not to have any caffeine after noon on the 10th.

2. Create a bedtime/ morning routine. Routines help your body anticipate going to bed, and wake up early, so get one started ASAP!

3. Have an early dinner. An earlier dinner gives you time to leisurely enjoy your evening, versus feeling stressed.

4. Turn off your phone and TV! Come on guys, we all know the drill. Facebook and Netflix can wait.

5. Find something in the morning that brings you joy. Making waking up a little easier knowing there’s something you love waiting for you. Whether its an extra yummy coffee, your favorite breakfast, fancy soaps for your morning shower or just some time to yourself before everyone else is awake.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter softened

1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup flour (all purpose or plain flour)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark/semi-sweet chocolate chips,

1/2 cup Nutella melted (or this Refined Sugar-Free Nutella Spread!)

Directions Preheat oven to 350° F Line a 9" cast iron skillet (or pie dish)

with baking/parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy. Whisk in the egg until combined. Add the flour, baking soda and salt, and mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Fold in half of the chocolate chips and spoon 1/2 the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

3. Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until it becomes thinner in consistency.

4. Spread the Nutella over the cookie dough in the skillet evenly to 1-inch of the edges. Top with remaining cookie dough, smoothing the layer with the back of a metal spoon (and your fingers if you need to). Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

5. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes for a gooey cookie, or cover after 30 minutes with aluminum foil and bake for a further 10 minutes for a 'set' cookie. Cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe from www.cafedelites.com

1. There’s only one Vienna. We don’t have a corporate office somewhere in Denver or something like that. We are all local. Vienna has been locally owned by the same family for over 50 years and we only have this one building.

2. The current owners didn’t start Vienna. Vienna is actually X years old. Ken started at Vienna in 1967 as a bookkeeper and purchased the company shortly after. He’s been here ever since.

3. Vienna has a LOT of long time staff. Sharon, who still pops by to help in the business office has been with Vienna the longest, even longer than Ken Heffel. Corey, the Administrator, has been at Vienna since 1987. Vienna actually has some of the highest employee retention rates in the nation!

4. Vienna likes to thank employees for all of their years of work. If you’re new to Vienna, you should know we really value the dedication of our staff. In fact, we have different celebrations for years of service. The most notable is after an employee has been at Vienna for 30 years, they’re thanked with a brand new car! To date, Vienna has gifted 13 cars.

5. We all love that beautiful organ. It was built in 1906 and there’s only two left in the state. The organ’s original home, was The Dominican Convent and College in San Rafeal until 1982. Ken bought the organ at that time. The room it sits in now was designed specifically to around that organ.

6. We like clocks, can you tell? House of Clocks in Lodi always treats our clock needs well.

7. The pictures in the hall aren’t stock photos. All of those pictures are personal pictures are from Heffel family vacations

8. Our rehab facility is a gem. Vienna’s rehab facility used to be different doctor’s offices, including the old office of our current Medical Director, Dr. Mullen. The offices were renovated to Ken and Corey’s dream rehab center.

9. Vienna was named 2019 big business of the year by the Lodi Chamber of Commerce. Woohoo!

10. We have a sweet tooth. You won’t have to look too hard to find sweet yummies around here!

Q: How long have you worked at Vienna A: All together in June it will be 31 years. I’ve been involved with Vienna for forever. My mom used to work in the kitchen when I was a little girl and then she came back as a CNA. I can’t remember ever not being involved with Vienna. Q: What brought you to Activities? A: I started as a CNA and an opening became available in Activities and I thought it would be fun. I got to work with residents on a different level. I got to do things that were important to them. Not so much the actual care part, that’s very important, but then what do people do with the rest of their time? For me, I thought it would a fun challenge to find out what was important to people while they were here and help them pursue that. Q: What’s your favorite part of Activities? A: The moments of joy. In fact yesterday I saw a resident, who is usually considered grumpy, it was a moment where I saw her smile the biggest smile, she was so happy. Whatever just happened, she was laughing and so happy. I wish I could have taken a picture. She had such a beautiful smile, her hair looked like it just been done in the beauty shop, she was turned a certain way and it would have been such a perfect picture for people to know who she is. There was a sparkle in her eye and it was just perfect. Whenever I’m having an especially rough day, I see something, or get a letter from a resident or family that reminds me this is why I do what I do. Q: What’s your favorite activity? A: I like the reminiscing groups. Where we sit in a group and the patients and residents get to share their life experiences. Bingo and parties are a lot of fun, but when you get to sit and talk to people about what’s important to them and what they remember the most and the times when they were young and married and had their children and their traditions, that to me is my favorite.

Vienna is committed to excellence in nursing care and rehabilitation. We create a quality,

caring environment that provides:

a dignified lifestyle for our residents attentive therapy for our patients a supportive atmosphere for our employees to excel

We are here to offer families responsive, compassionate and supportive service.

Q: What are the most popular activities? A: Bingo and we have a LOT of church services. We really do our best to accommodate every person. Q: Are there any new programs you’re looking forward to? A: We’re starting a nutrition class and we’re going to be talking about the important of certain fruits and vegetables and trying them in some recipes. So like today we’re doing cucumbers and we’ll talk about what cucumbers do for you and we’ll try some fun recipes with cucumbers, like little cucumber sandwiches. Q:What are independent activities we can do here? A: Activities is engaging with things that are important to you. So, reading, writing, coloring with adult coloring books, word searches, social media, watching your favorite show, all of those things are activities. Q: If someone was feeling bored and looking for activities, what could you offer them? A: Well we have all of our group activities of course, but then we have independent activities also. We actually have a list we can bring around with things to do. We have the lending library with books and supplies, we can bring music, we have pets that come around. We always encourage your pets to come visit (on a leash of course) that’s a very important bond we don’t want to break. It’s not fair to the person and it’s not fair to the pet to be missing each other. Q: Final thoughts? A: Make use out of that space in the back dining room. There’s a TV going and a café where you can sit and catch up with people. And ask if you’re looking for something to do.
