I had to tidy the room, apply lotion to my feet...

Hi

Is the expression totally natural?

I had to tidy the room, apply lotion to my feet and do so much when Vera arrived unannounced.

Thanks,

Tom

Is the expression totally natural? I had to tidy the room, apply lotion to my feet and do so much else when Vera arrived unannounced. Do you mean you had to do those tasks because she arrived?
