What was Walter Mitty doing in his waking life? 

Simply put, it was going into town, dropping his wife off, getting overshoes and puppy biscuit; finally returning to the hotel that they--with his wife- were staying at. 

Does Walter Mitty enjoy his life? Why or why not?

It can be inferred that the real-life is not something that he enjoyed. He longed for stimulation and thus daydreams came to play. Though it can also be argued that most of his real life is composed of such daydreams. This would mean that if indeed his real-life was filled with such dreaming, it is his real-life. On a technicality--given that he enjoys daydreaming-- it would seem that he does enjoy his life. His life can be deemed as boring and simple, not much stimulation aside from his ever-occurring daydreams.

In addition, the emotive language given is great, sending shivers up the spine when I've first read it. It was impactful.
