futz (fts)
intr.v. futzed, futz·ing, futz·es Slang
To waste time or effort on frivolities; fool. Often used with around: "would like to return to the days when Americans believed: 'By golly, you don't futz around with Uncle Sam'" Wall Street Journal.
I was just futzing around today, nothing done just goofing off.
