The month is over and time for me to post my October 2025 dividend income!
Hope you all had a great Halloween!
This was an interesting month for me to say the least.
I had an upper endoscopy done in the middle of the month due to stomach problems that seemed to intensify as the summer progressed.
Basically, lots of indigestion and acid reflux.
So, they sent a camera down my throat and into my stomach. The doctors took biopsies of my esophagus and stomach.
The stomach was fine for the most part, but my esophagus (mainly the lower part that links with the stomach) is inflamed (likely from stomach acid coming up).
I have been on medication for that these past weeks and I have been feeling much better.
So, I will just take the medication, let my esophagus heal, and follow up from there.
Health is always more important than money!
Other than that, I have been trying to get back into enjoying the fall weather and having fun whenever I can.
