Or move to the back-end, where things move at a more survivable pace. Here's the dirty secret, too: for the most part, the work you do there is actually easier than front-end work, since you have better tooling and frameworks that don't shift under you like quicksand. And building a CRUD backend to a REST API might be a tad tedious, but it's a whole lot less fiddly than mucking about with CSS and trying to make web UIs pixel perfect in every mongrel browser under the sun.

Honestly I would if not for the fact that backend interviews always test Crack the Coding Interview style data structures & algorithms knowledge, which I have no interest in spending my limited spare time preparing for (I didn't major in CS).
