The heating system is making me sweat more than my spouse

I don’t get it, it’s fall, my spouse and I are both cold outside raking leaves and those leaves come down in buckets, however there are so many, it’s ridiculous, but my friend and I mainly try to keep up with it because of our coy pond. It feels like it a never-ending nightmare to try and keep them out of it. The last few years my fantastic friend and I kept failing at it however hoping this year is a bit different. It actually won’t as I forgot to by a cover for it. I was planning on buying a cover and doing my best to make sure that the pond doesn’t become a leaf-filled mess; So I’m outside it feels like all weekend every two hours trying to rake up the leaves, well, the ones that keep landing around the pond and using the net to scoop a bunch out… Regardless, when my fantastic friend and I are indoors trying to get out of the cool fall weather, the temperature control dial for the heating system after a few minutes makes me sweat. My spouse just looks at me like I’m different and says this is the best air quality going on right now and if I’m too hot, after that my fantastic friend and I should go back outside and rake more leaves. I feel she’s nuts, maybe I should turn down the temperature control dial and she should go outside. That makes no sense nor could I do that to her. Still, the house is set at 74 degrees and I’m dripping with sweat and she is wearing a hoodie with sweatpants just being comfortable. I feel I’ll keep going outside to cool myself down and after I feel cold, I’ll come back inside, however doesn’t matter, when I go back to work Monday, that pond will be full of leaves.
