Now, it's worth wondering why that outlet tripped. Is that bathroom
humid? Did someone bathe the dog in there and let him shake himself
dry? Maybe that outlet is getting old.

If you're looking for another job in your job jar, you might consider
re-wiring the circuit so each bathroom has its own GFCI outlet, rather
than being daisy-chained through the first one.

"Re-wiring" is not what is necessary. Rather, if the boxes are large
enough for individual GFI receptacles, then only "reconnecting" the
wires in the present GFI box and adding the GFIs elswhere is necessary.
Ok, so we can call this re-wiring if you wish, but the point is that
it may be a fairly simple thing to do. --Phil


Quite right, "re-connecting" is a better phrase for it. And good point
that the existing boxes might be tight for GFCIs, plus the pigtail
connections that will be needed.
