A raise is always a reminder I make too much and will have a helluva time meeting it elsewhere.
I spent most of my childhood outdoors in the summer. I think kids just don't mind getting all sweaty and nasty the way most adults do.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I seem to recall that children as a rule sweat less than adults, and are actually more heat-tolerant in general.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Growing up in Phoenix and LV I was pretty insensitive to the heat. Weather never played a role in whether or not I went outside.
Summer is also my favorite season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The smaller you are, the more efficiently you cool, IIRC. Plus, as a kid, I never worried about being sweaty. I wouldn't now, but I do every now and again have to be presentable.
Plus I do my own laundry.

Winter rain would drive me inside. Because, you know, I might melt. Plus it was cold.
I still love the sensation of your skin tightening up when you walk outside into 100 degree dry heat. It's refreshing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
it isn't the heat that I mind, it is the fact that I am supposed to do stuff other than watch tv and read when it is hot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, because of the higher surface area to weight ratio.
