The only way out is a break. Check your weight. If you lose or increase more than 1% of body weight from one day to the next, something is wrong.

We were driving north when my husband said, “ Look at those lights（光）in the eastern sky（天空）.” 66 Our younger daughter was sitting in the back seat and said, “What is it?”I tried to stop the car beside the road, but my husband said he couldnt see it then. 67 Then he said, “ Look, there they are again!” I then stopped the car, got out and looked. It was a round, bright thing with orange lights. 68 It was so amazing. My husband said maybe it was an UFO. 69 So he stayed outside for about two hours after we returned home, but he didnt see anything else that evening.
