lazes around

Wastes the day

To laze around is to spend time idly, doing little or nothing productive: I lazed around the house all weekend.

The phrase emphasizes aimless relaxation rather than purposeful rest—someone lazing around isn't recuperating or meditating, just being pleasantly unoccupied.
