Yes, she did, because she had watched Meri going in many times before (when Meri was ill), and she had been in there herself when recuperating from an operation. So she knew what was in there, and that she would be comfortable. And of course, your comment about procrastination does depend entirely on what the task is. Often procrastination happens when you are unsure what to do, or it is uncomfortable, or you're more interested in doing something else at that moment. But the times when the end result is inevitable, and procrastination still occurs, are probably the problem procrastinations. Sometimes procrastination is the right thing to do ...

If you're doing paid work or housework or study then it can be more tempting to be Meri but more practical to be Gypsy. If you're doing something for pleasure then it may be better to stop and smell the roses (all of the roses down to the roots, according to Meri) than get carried away and have it all over with sooner. If you are approaching a task for the first time, though, some investigation may be warranted - did Gypsy barrel straight in the first time you put them in the garage during rain? Or did she check the place out a bit the first time, which may have looked like the same thing as Meri's procrastination?
