Just hit 200 rolls of film developed at home and my kitchen smells like vinegar forever

It snuck up on me honestly. I was counting out my empty film canisters for a recycling project last weekend and realized I've developed exactly 200 rolls myself over the past 4 years. Its not a huge number compared to some folks but it felt like a milestone because I remember struggling so hard on my first 10 rolls. I messed up temperature, I scratched negatives, I even ruined a whole roll of Portra because I left it in the fixer too long. Now I can basically do it in my sleep. The weirdest part is my kitchen just permanently smells like stop bath and vinegar no matter how much I air it out. Has anyone else lost track of their total count and then been surprised by how many rolls theyve actually done?

Clinging to that kitchen smell like it's a badge of honor at this point.
