1) If you use your computer to charge the Kindle, "eject" the Kindle after it shows up as a storage device, so you can play with it while it's charging. On Windows, open My Computer, right-click the Kindle icon and choose "eject". (not "safely remove"). On a Mac, I dunno... and if using the AC plug, I don't think this applies at all.
On a Mac you just drag the icon for the Kindle's disk (looks like a thumb drive) to the trash to "eject" it.

Though the OP probably knows that if zie has a Mac :-)

Regarding what to do while waiting--I found that exercising helped to burn off the anxiety :-) Also you can go to some of the free book sites (Baen Free Library, Manybooks.net, Mobileread) and pick out free un-DRMed Mobipocket e-books to put on your Kindle when it arrives. That can be fun :-)
