Abnormal swelling?

Im 1.5 months post MIS. Ive been in the process of moving so ive been doing a lot of physical activity. My foot has been feeling good and I havent had any discomfort until 2 days ago when I was cleaning my apartment, suddenly I started to feel some discomfort while walking. Yesterday I did quite a bit of walking while running errands with no pain but maybe some tenderness. Then last night I noticed this weird swelling thats just localized to this one straight line coming down from my big toe. Last night I would feel the tiniest jolt of pain every once in a while while lying down but nothing unbearable. Still, im really scared that i could have messed something up by putting too much stress on the foot. Has anyone had swelling that looked like this?

[CALIFORNIA] Proof of job search?

I was told by an employee on the phone that I'm not required to submit proof of job search when I certify and I've had no issues certifying for the past month without including proof but I've been selected to attend a RESEA via zoom and the questionnaire I have to fill out is asking where I've applied and for details of my application... am I required to include that information?

Overcorrection?

Right foot is a botched bunionectomy done in January with no hardware. Left foot is 1 month post op MIS with hardware. 2 different Surgeons. At one of my early post op appointments for the right foot I expressed concern that the position of my toe didnt look corrected. He told me he would never make a toe completely straight bc of the tendency to overcorrect. Clearly what I ended up with was virtually no correction. went to a different surgeon for my left foot who decided to do MIS with hardware bc my feet being flat would cause the bunion to return without hardware as it did with the right foot. I'm only 1 month out from the left foot surgery and there's still quite a bit of swelling but now I'm paranoid about the overcorrection that the first doctor mentioned based on the gap between the big toe and the next toe.

TLDR; left foot 1 month post MIS, does the toe look overcorrected? Did anyone have a similar result?

[California] forgot to include a 1099 gig in my claim

I did a contracted social media gig which I filled out a 1099 for before getting fired from my regular job. Idk why I didn't think about the gig work when I filed my claim but the gig took place between 3/10 and 6/2. I was paid on 7/13.

I was let go from my W2 job (the one I filed a claim for) on 6/4. I've been issued one payment from EDD as of 7/23. How do I amend the fact that i forgot to include the 1099 work that i was paid for when I filed my claim?

They're closed today so I can't call and this is stressing me out so if anyone knows what I can expect then I would really appreciate it.

PCS to Hawaii: moving art

What is the safest way to move art (paintings) from CA to HI? I have 2 pieces that could both fit in a checked bag with frames but not a carry on. I don't know who to trust more, hawaiian/alaska airlines or the navy movers. We had no issues with our first PCS or the movers but I have had one person tell me that their favorite painting got damaged during a PCS and im so terrified of anything happening- these pieces mean so much to me. They aren't extremely valuable (the expensive one is $400) but have extreme sentimental value.

TLDR; Does anybody know of any hacks for moving art pieces safely?

I feel like my husband doesn't listen to anything i say

Im venting about this here instead of a more general relationship subreddit because I specifically want feedback from other military spouses.

My husband is almost 5 years younger than me so there is a maturity gap but hes over 25 and I feel like he should be wiser than he currently is. I'm constantly repeating information to him and it really feels like everything I say goes in one ear and out the other. Or like he doesn't think what im saying is important enough to remember.

He's at a shore command right now, most days hes at work for a few hours. Very rarely is his job physically or mentally demanding. I'm trying to rationalize any reason for him to not be able to retain information but at the end of the day I just feel like there's either some deep rooted misogyny thats been instilled in him to not truly respect women or theres just a huge intelligence gap between us which is honestly depressing and scares me to think that could be the reason our marriage doesn't last.

I know its pretty common for women to feel like men don't listen but at what point do I need to decide that this just isn't going to be sustainable for me?
