I cannot get to sleep, wee hours of the morning considering if I will continue to tread water, or

sink and drown.
That is where some of us in this nation sit, millions and not cause we have done anything, particularly, besides getting old maybe. Or in hospitality industry.
I figure another 4 months possibly 6 and the terrain will look different. I can re-access and see the direction I need/can go. But, that is then, this is now.
Over the last 9 months I have stayed inside, not had family/friends visit, followed the rules because I cannot afford to get covid if it gets to the point of care, I am alone so there is that with no help, I do not want to get it. I have cut every cost I can to the bare minimum to be able to do that. I stopped smoking, drinking and I have not gotten a single fast food or restaurant, not even a coffee since May. I rarely buy meat but if it is 30% off, and keep my grocery bill down. Everything to the point of saving aluminum foil.
Pins and needles, babe, pins and needles of 3 months Pelosi fighting for me. Almost exclusively. AOC and a few other Democratic congress people have spoken out. Thanks Porter. Warren. But Pelosi is unique in the efforts as she has regularly updated me, and pushed and pushed and pushed. She hasn't stopped. So, all of this with three plans, she is the one I trust.
Mnachun and his bullshit plan that gives everyone 600, in place of extending UI. And I literally read people saying, see? Made him blink, we win. Wtf?
Self proclaimed leader Sanders with 6 others, my senator Merkley included. 1200, strike the co liability and I do not know his position on UI. Or nothing? (He said he would not vote for Pelosi's if it hits the floor, then comes out with his dream of a plan, last minute mucking things up and stopping Pelosi momentum, that Pelosi has been advocating for 6 months and now at the deadline, she is trying to save .... me.)
Or Pelosi and more conservatives normal Republican extend UI/300 until end of March, work on the liability some to have holes, give to states, hosp for care.
Pelosi was just about there Sunday and Monday Sanders jumps out and says not voting, Tuesday comes out with this plan, and Tuesday afternoon and today we have Mnunchin and now Mitchell saying, my plan. There is now fuckin four. One plan is not happening.. Just fact. Two are screwing people, states and hosp while getting the liability thing. This was not a tough one, and we were almost there so some of us are going to be angry. I know that offends and I do humbly apologize for being so desperate right now, I just am that desperate to be angry.
But, this too will come to an end. I figure another week and I will know if I tread, or sink. No buoys, no lifeguards and an heavy undertow. Oh, in an hurricane storm on the surface of covid/holidays/winter.
Have I told every one Happy Christmas, and a Merry New Year?
Pondering here. Tired. I can't go to sleep at night.
And, I can stay at home, in a warm house, with food in the fridge, and money in the bank (meager life savings but money none the less). In beautiful country. What is in 6 months. Even if I sink, I can hold my breathe for 6 months. So, all is good.
This is Orgon. If anyone can explain this, I would appreciate. I run out of money just before Dec 26 and that will kick me off, but if they can get it done in a week then I will like have money added to extend? Any thoughts about where so many of us are right now. I know we will know but I got a note from Oregon UI telling me some may be kicked off Dec 13. I have never done UI and I cannot talk to an official person, they do not answer there phone, or i cannot get thru. Thanks.
