Narrative:

I called on unicom and learned runway 10 was active. I entered the pattern. On short final, I realized I was landing on runway 28. I had announced runway 10. I landed uneventfully. It was night, after a long day's work, and it had been 4 weeks since I last flew. It had been 7 hours since I last ate. All this conspired such that I did not recognize I was flying 180 degrees from what I announced and planned. This was also an unfamiliar airport at night.
