Left Brake loosey goosey

So, lately, within the past couple of months, my left CBS brake feels a bit loose. The right brake feels tighter.

To my understanding there is supposed to be an adjuster under the left rear of the bike -though I am wondering how it gets loose and tight on its own in the first place since I have never messed with it?

The brake shoes wear down and the cables stretch slightly. Both these cause the brake to require a little adjustment. There is an adjuster near the back wheel and also one behind the headlight .
