Well, it's finally going to get hot where I am. I'm not looking forward to it. When I was a kid, I used to love this season. It seemed like the heat didn't bother me back then. For the last couple of decades in my life, I just hate it. I hate the heat and what comes with it - excessive noise, people in the pool area that act like idiots, lower energy and enthusiasm, getting strange bumps that itch, longer daylight, dullness at work (everyone's gone it seems), and more that I can't think of right now.

I get SAD in reverse. This has been the time of year when health issues happen and tragedies from the past. The weather can sometimes remind me of the tragedies.
