I am also in the position of not loving CSS but having to use it here and there when I build my own thing. However I'd say that the more I use it the more tolerable it becomes, and I have even begun liking certain aspects of it. The main resources I keep coming back to are:

1. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/

2. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

3. Googling 'css <thing I want to do>' because there is just too much syntax for an occasional user to commit all of it to memory.

When it comes to grid I just tend to use CSS grid generators (if you search them few will popup) and they produce great CSS grids without fail. I stopped using flexbox, because for most of the things proper set grid is enough. 3rd point is sufficient for all other css needs. I tried to learn css back then but after few attempts I will more or less forget things as I use most of them once or twice in the project.
