Imparfait vs Passe Compose

In the sentence: donc je me suis baignée tous les jours.

I used imparfait, since it is an ongoing activity - every day - and Juliette is describing what she is doing.

donc je me baignais tous les jours.

Why is passé composé being used here?

“QUENTIN: When do we get there?”For these three answers, does “there” not need to be explicitly included, maybe with a “y”, such as “QUENTIN : Quand est-ce qu'on y arrive ?” Same question for “We'll get there when we get there!”.

You were polite yesterday is not a one time action, it's a state of being, so to say “tu as été polis hier" is incorrect.
