lazed around
Killed time idly
To laze around is to spend time idly, doing nothing productive or strenuous.
The phrase suggests comfortable inactivity rather than boredom: We lazed around the pool all afternoon, I spent Sunday lazing around in my pajamas.
The around adds a sense of aimless drift to what might otherwise be deliberate rest.
