New project called ZonoPal

Yesterday I started a new project called ZonoPal.com, which is a website that links together people with similar interests, letting them exchange messages. Two weeks ago I started exchanging messages with a pen-pal named Bess, who lives in England. We're both members of an online dating service called NoLongerLonely.com, which is a dating site for consumer/survivors. She somehow stumbled across my profile and sent me a smile (called a flirt on a different dating site I'm also a member of). Then I messaged her and the messaging is still going strong.

In the past 10 weeks I've only been depressed for one day, which was 3 days ago. I was anxious about an upcoming funeral for my friend Constance (which is today), partly because I'm making a speech at that funeral service. I had known Constance for 23 years. We both have schizophrenia, and she was homeless for many years. She found permanent housing a year and a half ago, but a few months later she was kicked out for smoking in her room, which was against the rules. Then she found permanent housing again several months ago at Fred Victor. Constance was 67 years old and was born in Nigeria. I am good friends with her brother Max.

I'm not going to begin implementing ZonoPal until I finish implementing a new feature of my previous project, PlicTalk.com. PlicTalk is an image collection manager. Later this week I will resume reading one of two books I own having to do with MEAN: MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node. When that's done I can begin implementing ZonoPal, using JavaScript along with the 4 MEAN tools. Currently my knowledge of JavaScript is quite rudimentary. My background is Delphi, which I used for 15 years but is now an obsolete tool.
