Narrative:
I dropped the passenger off at XA15 and returned back to my home base, hao, which is only approximately 10 mi away in VFR WX. I entered the pattern base leg instead of downwind, added my flaps, turned to final approach awaiting 1 aircraft to takeoff and added full flaps for landing. Consequently, I landed with the gear retracted. Factors affecting the quality of human performance and contributing factors: I had flown all the previous week including the weekend and on monday. Duty time was 12 hours. The day was very hot and muggy. Numerous legs. I entered the pattern on base leg instead of the usual downwind leg. I had pressure of planning a wedding for myself which was to take place in 3 weeks. My wedding dress was not ready. The band I hired split up. I had lack of sleep the night before. I was mentally and physically fatigued.
