Right. Well, then why don’t I just mine it myself, is I think what I’m asking.

Miners mine entire blocks. A block contains many transactions.

As a miner, you could technically mine only one transaction, but economically it makes sense to mine as many transactions as you can at once so you can earn more from fees! It takes the same energy to mine one transaction as it does to mine 100s.

That makes sense; so my transaction is about two weeks old. It’s just treading water in the memepool?

Yeah it’ll stay unconfirmed until it bubbles up to the top (by you increasing the fee or waiting for the fees to drop)
