Should I follow up or start job hunting?

Advice Needed

Basically I asked my bosses for a $3-5 raise, 2 unpaid sick days and a holiday off on Nov 3. They said yes to the sick days and holiday but have said nothing about my raise. When i asked they said they would "run the numbers"

After I asked for the raise I looked on their calendar and noticed I am NOT on it for the other half the month. I did already get my schedule via email in sept (i get it 6-8months in advance) but this is the first time in 1.5 years it has not also been on the calendar.

I dont know if I should follow up or just assume that its not likely and start the job hunt. I feel like they were both there and heard the request so i dont see why i would even have to follow up. Also i dont like to seem like im begging bc at the end of the day we need each other equally.

I love my job so i dont want to start looking but im also actively going through a potential eviction so I have to put me first. What would you do? What should I do?
