If you had seperated your days in the story, such as, on the first day, I did this and on the second day, I did this and on the third day, I will do this ... then you could have said, I cooked and cleaned on the first day. On the second day, today, I go buy stuff and eat more stuff. Furthermore, tomorrow, the third, I will sleep the entire day and rest my tired body.
So in my example, I wrote each day as a seperate day. So the actions I write can have a past, a present and a future.
You wrote your story as if all three days were just one time period.

Qingyun.He:
You wrote your verbs using past tense, using words like (did, cooked, cleaned.) In the context of your story, these verbs should be present tense as if the actions still happen now. Why? Because your story covers three days and the three days have not ended, yet. So everything you do will be the present ...
Now if you had started the story, Last weekend was "QingMing" Festival, then all of those three days would have already happened. Since, only some of the three days have happened, then you are still in the present.
