Just hit my 500th chimney sweep and it felt weirdly emotional

I was cleaning Mrs. Henderson's place on Maple Street this morning, counting like I always do, and I realized I crossed 500 sweeps since I started on my own in 2018. Never thought I'd keep track that long, but seeing that number in my logbook made me stop and think about all the roofs and crawlspaces I've been in. Anyone else have a milestone that snuck up on them?

Yeah, that number hits different when it's not just a guess.

Yeah that number really does hit you different when it's not just a rough guess. Would definitely recommend snapping a picture of your logbook page just so you have it to look back on later.

Just what I need, another reason to stare at a number and question my life choices. Taking a picture means I can zoom in on the regret later at 2am when I can't sleep. Appreciate the tip, I guess, even if it feels like emotional self-sabotage.
