loafed around
Wasted time deliberately
To loaf around is to spend time idly, doing nothing productive—lounging, puttering, killing time without purpose.
The phrase suggests pleasant laziness rather than depressed inactivity: We loafed around the house all weekend.
Someone who loafs around isn't necessarily sleeping; they're just not accomplishing anything in particular.
