I've budgeted myself 3 stress eating tokens. 2 large and 1 small. I am going to stress eat so budgeting it helps me handle it. It's easier to not stress eat when I've got that token in my pocket that I could spend on something better.
I pretty much can't schedule anything for at least two months with everything there is to do with Dad's death. Not only will there be the funeral and house stuff but we still haven't had a memorial for Mom. I assume we'll do a joint memorial now, but currently Mom's ashes are in a pouch. Our family is bad with schedule stuff or ever taking me into account for scheduling. I could go over my family's track record, but just assume it's disgusting.
Most of my social life involves hiking meetups that I have to be able to commit to in advance. Due to permitting and legal reasons, space is always limited. Committing just to reserve a space is considered a jerk move. So, with 3 or 4 plane trips in my future that are likely to be rescheduled on short notice I pretty much can't go and do my main social activity.
My D&D group is going to have one more session. They've scheduled it way out to accommodate me and all know the date may change. They are being awesome about this. But my family is a thing. My family changed the date of my Grandmother's funeral 5 times. I cancelled several plans and ate money from trip cancellations and then still couldn't go because they picked the one day I couldn't cancel. They didn't bury her until 6 months after she died and picked the one day I just could not go.
I wonder how many people in my family know that Dad has 2 double car garage sized storage units because he hates throwing things away. That might be a nasty surprise.
So yeah, stress eating tokens. Large ones are for meals. The small one is for a single treat.
