lazing
Doing nothing much
Lazing is passing time in idle relaxation, doing little or nothing: We spent the afternoon lazing by the pool.
The word suggests pleasant, unhurried leisure rather than guilty procrastination.
To laze about or laze around is to move through a space without purpose or urgency.
