Yep, that's what I would do. And if it worked and bought some time, I'd definitely start the wheels going on getting the hell out of there. See if you can find a place in the country looking for a handyman/laborer/ranch hand sort that will feed you and give you a place to stay in exchange for work. You have nowhere else to go? No one who would take you in for even a little while? I think I'd choose homelessness over that shot (yes, I have been homeless before), and I would get my ass out of the cold place I live (thumb a ride if you need to) and make my way south, maybe to Slab City, or somewhere like it. You have to have some skill that would get you cash. I once found a homeless dude passing out copies of some crappy assed poetry he wrote. He was doing SOMETHING for his money, so I gave him some. Go to a church, smaller being better since the larger ones seem to be more of the "God only loves the rich" type of places. If they can't help you directly, they can direct you to someone who can. Unless you've got a substance abuse issue, and there are ways around that as well. Screw that shot. You might be trading your future for a short reprieve right now. I would also check with the sheriff regarding eviction laws; they might not have the ability to just tell you to GTFO immediately.
