After 40 years in the hobby I can relate. I've gone from obsessive to apathetic and to various types of happy medium. The thing is that you have already passed the stage where you can cease to be an astronomer. It's in your blood. You can try to turn your back on it but it will still be there.
The thing is to find what is achievable that can make you happy at the moment. Perhaps list the issues and look at solutions. How the ease lifting, how to live with dew.
I also know that success breads enthusiasm and how that decreases pain. As the quality and quantity of observing increase so the packing gets easier, the drive gets shorter, the scope lighter and even the night warmer. The trouble is that we have had La Nina until we are growing gills. Keep the faith. In a few years we will have water restrictions an chronic clear skies.
