I wasn't sure if I should have said

These were, instead of this was
or
"what I had been doing today"
"what I was doing today"
"what I had done today"

instead of "what I did today"

I have no idea what I should have said.

Could you tell me what the best way was?
If the statement was after your explanation, the only change I would have made is use "That" instead of "This". "This" would be used before explaining or listing all the the things you did during the day.

So the correct statement would be:

"That is what I did today"

P.S.
It's been a while for me to come to this forum. I have been really busy with the new school (my friend from USA and I are running it by ourselves).

I hope I can catch up all the lovely people here again
Wow, that's quite an accomplishment! I'm sure you and your friend will be very successful

Good to see you back here, Mayumi-san...or should it be "Principal" Mayumi...or Mayumi-sensei...or...*smiles*


Fortunately, there is one woman in this world who can control me.

Unfortunately for you, she is not here.
