Not well :-( .

Perhaps it would be a good opportunity to reinvent yourself. If you change how you go about it, maybe you can try things that didn't work in the past and get a different result now. An attitude change makes an amazing difference to how people react.
Others here have been in bad situations and are just offering support and advice that helped them. I don't think anyone here is wanting any kind of ego boosting from it. Some things that worked for other people won't work for you, some will. The only sure thing is that doing nothing will leave you in the same situation.
Let us know what emails you get back from UGM and anyone else you tried? I'm sure a copy-paste of them would be fine.

...If GO no wishes to favor me with his , IIRC , passive aggressive at a best a mediocre " I'm just trryyyying to heellllp and you're not coming over to , kneeling , lick my hand in gratitude and obey me a hundred per cent and you just don't WANT to help yourself , that's what of is ! !! !! !! !! " passive aggressive garble , that's allroght by me .

... That was " zif GO no longer wishes..." , and some other mispellls brought on by this pretty dodgy ztablet and zwi fi circumstances .

...KK , you're maybe not going to like me saying this , but regarding the SALLY , I'm SICK , I'm not really up to 35 hours a. Week of work/training , apSFTER I G O T b BETTER , yesd , but WHzz. WHILE IM S TILl 0z. STILL POST AMPU TSz. AMPzuTSzTIzz. WHILE IM STILL zzpOST AMPUTSATION , I CANT . I am RESLLY having posting probnlemd now , I apologize , but I zzHSVE to get that basic part IP before I sign off .

I know you're sick and can't train 35 hours a week.

That's why I suggested you follow B19's recommendation of contacting UGM. I even composed an email for you to copy and paste.

...Two points . Five Ws/lede first .
I went to UGM , spoke to them , I am on a waiting list now for the " medical floor " (which might mean " waiting list for POSSIBLY getting in " , anyway . So , that's that for now .
However , seperately , I have been given a temporary ban from the other shelter where I was at , so I am comepletely homeless now . For " abandoning " my stuff (going somewhere else in the shelter and leaving them under/on a table ~ Other people leave stuff , out of luggage , piled up permanently , and seem to get away with it) .
I could get back the stuff now , but I did want to take advantage of being off the leash ~ I thought I'd go back late in the afternoon and get it ~ Of course , the possibility exists that by then they'dve tossed the luggage out , or declared " We can't get it now " .
There's something involving getting a three-figure check sent to me that woud involve: (10 Printing up a form at the library (2) Finding a notary public , having it notarized (3) Sending a USPS kail to a Southwestern state (4) Then (I presume) getting the check - likely at a day shelter that will acceptUSPS for homeless , which I am reluctant to do but could (5) Probably , I'm afraid , at a check-cashing place (I have no bank account) - cashing it .
But , it now seems like that might be more than I could accomplish to-day .
Still walking , remember , even if now the main luggage-less .
On my bandaged post-amputation feet , the stiches on one now ndays past the time they were supposed to be taken off .
Go to a hospital ER ~ Remember?? , the Everett hospital also messed up my prescriptions and the setting up of the stiches' removal .

You have made progress. Fantastic effort. Keep going. There'll be bumps the road ahead, go over them, not through them or under them. Keep going. Congratulations, I am proud of you for making these efforts. I hope you will soon make more progress. Keep going!

...Yes , but the supposed UGH berth did not happen , may never ~ Oh , and I'm completely homeless now , on what hI have heard described as a (Suprise . It's Seattle . ) rainy next few nights .
And if I walk a lot to-day , even sans the full ball & chain , what am I doing to my feet ?
Oh , and I meant to change underwear , what I have on now is RERALLY rancid ~ If I lose the three or so never-worns in the luggage , I must go even earlier to Target to by even more .
Again . I am 100% HL to-night , remember .

I know it's hard and tonight is scary. Keep your eye out for solutions to that, the warmest safest place you can shelter tonight if nothing else turns up. That's your top priority today. Can you ask other homeless people for safe-place recommendations for tonight? They aren't going to judge you. Some will not care but some probably will. They may offer you a place sharing with them, that they have already found. Keep going. You can get through this.

[...It's quite easy to vicariously tell me how " brave " I am vicariously . I'm doing what was your/GO's?? big whoop , so , yeah you're happy , more or less .
It just takes one night's hypothermia to die .
Perhaps if I walk enough that my feet are mushed up ~ the Er'll take me seriously ?
Would I even be welcomed back at my (now-former) place to-morrow ?
Need a referral ?
I'd likely have to cfarry the ball & chain another day (tomorrow) even IF I got back in " my former " that night .
I am fifth on a waiting list for UGM , they really seem to prefer people " hanging around in the morning on the morning that the person in charge of that program comes " , more than contacting me , and the nearest date for that" he comes " date , anyway , is five days from now .

That's all we can do from our internet connections - and a little encouragement and positivity is better than nothing, don't you think?

As for your progress on your situation, congratulations. Hopefully you're able to meet with the right person at UGM in 5 days and get admitted.

I wonder if you might be able to find a used tent for sale really cheap or free that could help keep you dry for the next several nights? craigslist? freecycle? thrift store?

...To start with,I wonderifyou areromantisizing/idto your superego-ing/"I wish I was him ! "-ing/imagining meas some wee merry dancing elf just a LITTLE bit .
I mean,I have been known to do it me-self,aye ! !! !! !! !! !!
(Oh,great - this keyboard'sletters tend to stick together.
I'm going to notalways,at least,correct them,sopleaseezcusesomeletterruntogether.)
I never quite" developedthatmuscle"toknowhow to set upa tent,asI was never in the Boy Scoutsor even theArmy and learning to do it there.
I don't have a cell phone,so I am a second-class,atleast," use the World Wide Web "citizen asfor try ing to get things through CL,etc.,too.

Why would I "romantasize" about your situation? Why would I wish to be in your position? Why would I picture you as a dancing elf? You're not making any sense.

If you don't know how to setup a tent but can someone manage to get one for yourself, ask someone to show you how to set it up & learn. It's not a difficult task of engineering or anything.. it's putting a few metal poles through some holes in fabric. If the opportunity presents itself, take the opportunity to learn something new. A new survival skill to help you make it through.

We've established that you don't have a cell phone or reliable internet access. But you do have your brain, 5 senses, and natural surroundings. Find scrap materials to make a temporary shelter out of. Or a tree with enough cover to keep the rain off of you. Or some combination. I've seen many homeless people make creative little shelters out of cardboard, garbage bags, shopping carts etc in order to protect themselves from the elements and survive the night. It's very common here in the Vancouver area where it rains just as much or more as Seattle since we share a very similar climate here on the Wet Coast.
