Don’t get too happy

Things start to look up, and then *SLAM* get knocked back down into the mire. The A/C at my house quit working. No clue why. Seems like it’s got no voltage. The thermostat runs off batteries when it doesn’t have voltage coming off the Cyan line, and when I took the batteries out, it wasn’t on. Checked all the breakers and everything else. nothing. Can’t get a service tech out here until Monday morning. Even then it’s $84. Wonderful. That’s not including parts and labor. But what are you going to do? Not fix the AC?
What’s bothered me the most about this entire problem is that it seems every time the power fluctuates at my house, whether due to a lightning storm or something else, stuff breaks. Last time we believed it was a power surge which took out a myriad of our appliances, thankfully none of the major appliances. Thursday, (two days ago) the power was out for several hours. The A/C worked until today. May not be related, but I can’t help but be suspicious. I’m really quite angry that our A/C has busted. It’s barely a year and a half old. These things are supposed to work for many years before giving up…
